About Sarah Rapp

We are a family of six and North Captiva is our favorite place.

We decided to purchase a piece of paradise, and wanted a large home that we could share with friends and family. We found this lovely family-friendly beach house that has everything that we look for in a rental. It is perfect for our large family or multiple families to share. It is even a great getaway for ‘girls trips’!

We hope that you enjoy our home as much as we do.

Guestbook comments from the manager

I was kind of skeptical at first of having to pack all our food ( & with 6 children that tends to be a lot) along with the usual stuff you take on vacation to take on the ferry over. But I have to say it was so worth the initial hassle! The home was beautiful & well supplied with everything we needed in the kitchen & for entertainment for the kids. What I loved most about this home was that it was comfortable ... Not just staged to look good, but had a homey feeling. I did speak with one of the owners after we returned & was impressed to find he was genuinely interested in how our stay was & what could be done to make it better. Not only was the house fabulous, but knowing that the people you're renting from are people of character & morals made it even better! We plan on returning next year!

Amazing house great island

We loved the captivation house. It was decorated beautifully and had all amenities needed. The owner was awesome. He offered for our family to fish off his private deck one night which was a great experience for us. There were 6 adults and 4 young children staying in the house. Everyone had their own space and bathroom! All the bedrooms are on the second floor. The kitchen and living area is on the top floor and the bottom floor is the pool and patio area. There are lots of stairs, but you need hem for the amazing view you get from all of the decks. We will definitely come back!
